Producer
HA
Rahman,
who
has
earlier
made
hit
Kannada
movies
like
Yajamana
and
Huchcha,
is
now
all
set
to
remake
the
Shahrukh
Khan-Kajol
starrer
blockbuster
Bollywood
movie
Dilwale
Dulhaniya
Le
Jayenge.
The
movie
is
tentatively
titled
as
Maduve
Mane
and
Golden
star
Ganesh
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
lead
role
in
the
movie,
which
is
expected
to
go
on
the
floors
in
January.
The
producer
wanted
to
rope
in
Genelia
D"Souza
for
the
female
lead,
but
she
could
not
get
her
dates.
Now,
he
is
considering
Kajol"s
sister
Tanisha
and
negotiations
are
going
on
to
sign
in
her
for
the
movie.
Speaking
to
the
Bangalore
Times,
producer
HA
Rahman
says
that
DDLJ
has
been
a
classic
and
has
set
a
record
by
running
at
a
Mumbai
theatre
for
700
weeks.
So
he
has
decided
to
make
it
in
Kannada.
Presently,
HA
Rahman
is
looking
out
for
a
director.
“We"ll
make
sure
that
the
Kannada
version
won"t
be
as
long
as
the
original.
Perhaps,
that"s
because
the
film
will
not
be
a
clean
copy
of
DDLJ," the
Bangalore
Times
quotes
him
saying.
He
also
makes
it
clear
that
Hindi
version
showed
a
typical
four-days-long
Punjabi
wedding.
But
the
remake
Maduve
Mane
deals
with
the
traditional
Kannada
wedding
ceremonies,
which
will
go
on
for
two
days.
However,
according
to
the
producer
it
is
not
clear
whether
actor
Ganesh
will
appear
in
Raj"s
role,
which
was
played
by
SRK
in
the
original.
He
says
that
all
the
cast
and
crew
of
the
movie
are
not
decided
yet.
Presently,
dialogues
are
being
written
and
the
movie
Maduve
Mane
will
certainly
have
a
local
touch.
